OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intended as an update to the more conventional field disruption systems used by First United Astral Engineering on most of the company’s vehicles, fighters, armors, and other combat platforms, the FAE/C-01 “Sunflower” Incursion System is an advanced and highly versatile field disruptor, which combines a variety of technologies into a single system. Governed by a suite of computer brains and equipped with integrated sensors, in most situations, the Sunflower operates by scanning a target’s shields in order to identify the class, before selecting the system(s) it will recommend to the operator or automatically deploy to attempt penetrating the shield.
In incorporating multiple types of shield disruption technologies, the designers hope that the Sunflower will prove to be more capable than standard systems, largely to facilitate the execution of risky, yet effective tactics such as slipping starfighters under bubble shields and boarding operations. However, though as the system has yet to be deployed, its effectiveness in the field remains to be seen.
- Intent: To create a comprehensive and modular system which is capable of disrupting shields.

- Flying Needle: The Sunflower has the capability to reliably challenge ray, particle, deflector, holographic, and other types of defensive barriers. It is capable of using up to two different incursion systems at once to penetrate an energized field, affording it a strong degree of versatility in attempting to disrupt a targeted shield.
- Overcharge: Configurable power settings allow the shield disruption systems in the incursion array to feasibly challenge overlaid barriers via overcharge capacitors. However, setting one or all of the shield disruption systems to the highest setting may demand that additional power be drawn from its capacitor banks or siphoned from elsewhere, such as engines, weapons, inertial compensators, life support, and/or other critical systems, depending on the strength of the targeted shield. In essence, targets with especially strong shields will correspondingly demand more power to penetrate.
- Shields Off: As a safety feature, the Sunflower will in turn, automatically disable the host platform’s shields for the period of its activation, in order to avoid overloading the capacitor banks of the host platform’s defensive barriers due to its own disruptive effects.
- Contact Shot: In order for the Sunflower’s shield disruption systems to be effective, the host platform or operator must be in direct contact with the shield they are targeting. In essence, these systems are not viable at any range but direct contact.
- Boring Machine: The Sunflower is unable to disrupt shields in their entirety. Instead, it is geared towards breaking open a small hole in targeted shields, large enough for the host platform itself to punch through, typically for boarding, bypassing planetary shields, or in the case of small craft, slipping under barriers to fire directly on a capital ship’s hull. The rest of the target’s shields will likely still retain full integrity.
- Exotic Shielding: Xythan Force and Molecular shields which are incorporated into the projected barriers of the target’s shields, will likely be able to resist most of the shield disruption technologies incorporated into the incursion array.
- Reverse Charge: Xythan Force and other types of reactive shielding can feasibly absorb and return the disruptive energy emitted by the field disruption system and the radiation emitted by the T-33 charge, with potentially crippling effects for the host platform.
- Missiles and Slugs: The Sunflower is too complex to be integrated into missiles or slugs.
